*Directions to Faith Baptist Church, 480 Prosperity Road, Prosperity, WV:
Going south from Crossroads Mall ... Because the north end of Prosperity Road is closed for a few months to repair a washout, you will need to go 1-1/2 miles to the south end of Prosperity Road (the green water tower) and make a very sharp (150-degree) right turn, then go one mile to the church. GPS shows the detour. Or if the turn is too sharp for you, go past the south end of Prosperity Road to the next stoplight, turn around in the Cranberry Elementary School parking lot, and go a half mile back to the green water tower at Prosperity Road, turn left, and go one mile. The church will be on your right.
Going north from Golden Corral in Beckley, go two miles to the green water tower at Prosperity Road, turn left, and go one mile. The church will be on your right.
